I just got myself a R33 and I am having lots of fun driving it around.

However I am not sure when is the right time for me to change my gear to achieve best performance.

How can I save on my petrol. What I am doing now is just not rev ( keeping below 3000rpm) too much so that the turbo does not kick in. Would that damage my car

Any website of information I can read up more on how a turbo works???

Thanks

Loosing my licence has dropped my fuel bill to nothing. Quite effective.

Putting around at 3grand won't hurt the the car, uses bugger all fuel that way, just make sure you give her some loving to clear the cobwebs out now and then.

As for changing gears, it depends on your mods and when your power/torque starts to drop off.

Squizz.

    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in

    • Hell yeah. It's not as if the path from front to rear is particularly squirrelly or otherwise difficult.
